In this June 25, 2015, photo, photographer Mike Siegel of the Seattle Times stands during an uphill hike on Mount St. Helens in Washington. A group of local media were invited to take part in a new hike that later in the summer the Mount St. Helens Institute will offer, guided hikes featuring up-close views of the glacier and the inside of the crater.

File--In this Aug. 30, 2007, file photo, Andrew Schurr leads Cal Seabaugh up the Pacific Crest Trail near Santiam Pass, Ore., in the Oregon Cascades.

Build a trail from Mexico to Canada, and a trickle of hardy souls will see if they can cover it, pushing through parched desert, driving rain and sky-high fields of snow. Let Hollywood glamorize the trail a half-century later and the masses will arrive, prepared or not.
